To make the story even more juicy, Mike, I have to mention the latest rumour which goes around in my village.

They say that picking the win-area for the suppletion sand at sea was infact a mistake. It was not their intention at all, to end up with this small grain sand.

At the former (small)sand suppletion about 2 years ago they explored by accident a win-area which was full of war granates and other munition.
Hence we ended up with a spouted beach where always each day a granate or small bomb was found, which had to be detonated on the beach by the armee.
So because they didn't want to make the same mistake again, they have chosen a complete other win area at the seabottom, with the result that they stumbled on fine grain sand.

By the way...there is a little story to tell about these granates on the beach.

Because I had a lot of trouble with these armee guys two years ago (they tried to forbid me to sail etc), I used to take each granate that I found in the morning with me to my home.
I've cleared quite a lot of them (letting the gunpower out and removing the detonator). I ended up with a lot of wanted presents consisting of painted and /or texted fully defused granates for placing on the chimney!

By the way, all these granates and bombs on the seabottom far at sea before our village, have to do with the shooting areas for the navy at sea.
And to make everything even worse, in the dunes just next door, there was(is) an installation of a supercanon pointed at sea for testing foreign enemy munition!

And you don't want to believe it, but this canon stands 200 meter from the dome which houses the nuclear hiflux reactor in the dunes.....

and I'm their neighbour who literaly lives closest by......
